Dimmu Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Easy choice. Clarke is solid but Tomori is exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clarke is the better defender, he has better positioning and better in the air. Tomori was better at recovering, quicker and passer.

Day Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 When you’re sat on row Z and the ball hits your head it’s Tomooooori! Tomori obviously, but I’ve probably got more chance of playing for Derby next season than Frank sending us Tomori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Not exactly a tough one. I rate both, but Clarke is a top class championship defender, while Tomori is a pretty damn good Prem defender who’s also played in the Champions League. There’s no comparison to be had, anyone saying Clarke needs their head testing. Theres absolutely 0 chance we see Tomori back now anyway mind.

Curtains Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Tomori made more mistakes and would recover with pace. Rather have Clarke long term as reliable week in week out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Great question. Tomori was excellent but relied on his pace at times to bail him out as his defending wasnt always great (especially early on). Clarke is a better defender positionally & better in the air. Tomori was excellent on the ball although Clarke is very decent also. Should also point out that Tomori had the benefit of Keogh alongside him for pretty much the entire season. Clarke has had Keogh, Bielik, Davies, Wisdom, Forsyth and Evans at various points and a very uncertain goalkeeper situation behind him. Tomori also played in a team that was always top 10, Clarke has played in a team that struggled until the New Year & only clicked thereafter. I would say Clarke has carried the defence at times whereas Tomori was a quality addition to an already decent defence. Clarke for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Tomori was crap in the air but would dominate on the floor so it’s nowhere near as clear cut as people are making out Think they’d compliment each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Clarke for me only because he's slightly more likely to stay. Tomori having tasted life at the top with Chelsea won't want to drop back. Clarke hasn't featured for Brighton so is playing at the best level he's reached on a regular basis. I loved Tomori's pace, passion and passing ability but it's reassuring to have Clarke's aerial presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Is this pure fantasy. How the he’ll could anyone persuade Frank to loan Tomori Clarke on the other hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Both, back 3 of Tomori, Clarke and Te Wierek....withba good keeper behind them, show me a better defense in the championship. If only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Clarke is a better defender. Tomori is beautiful chaos. I voted Tomori purely because of how much pleasure I got from watching him play. Not often a CB gets you off your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really was fantastic, so gutted we couldnt sign him as he really would have been a club legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Neither. Give me Claude Davis any day of the week. Just kidding. What a beautiful quandary it would be to have. Tomori just shades it for me, although it feels wrong to dismiss MC as he's been excellent for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I rate them both, but I voted Tomori because his passion for the shirt was so great to see. I don't think we're likely to get Tomori back, so would love it if we retained Clarke instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
